See review for ‘Summer’s Hum’.

[Diana Jaques · Rating 5 out of 5]

Falling Into Autumn by Angela Harding is a brilliant book comprised of Harding's prints.

Each print depicted in this book has been driven from Angela's own experience with the natural world. She goes on to tell the reader the fascinating and endearing tales of her encounters and memories with British wildlife. The prints are all hand cut into lino or wood, with a exception of two pieces which are a mono printing piece and a painting.

Angela Harding invites you into her life, sharing with you her stories, habits and opinions on the natural world, places, and print making. This book has been written with such a welcoming tone, which left me feeling like I had been sat with Angela beside me as she expressed her wonderful stories.

A wonderful read filled with tales of nature and art, perfect for autumn as the leaves turn orange and little creatures prepare for winter.

I bought this at the end of summer 2025. The first leaves were just turning pale green and yellow. September's song has a new melody; this beautiful book is it's orchestration.

A beautiful little collection of autumnal-themed prints, but the accompanying text wasn't the most engaging. It would have been nice to learn more about her artistic process, or the animals/nature depicted, or even just more detail about the inspiration behind each picture and what made it meaningful to the artist.
